Baking & Snacks

The partnership aims to accelerate the development and commercialization of clean-label ingredients to deliver freshness‑extending solutions across food and beverage applications.

The openings bring the Global Pizza chain Papa John’s total footprint in Kenya to 10 stores and form part of a broader strategy by local operator Express Kitchen to deepen market penetration after two years of operations in the country.

The collaboration positions the products as indulgent, scoopable interpretations of the original snacks rather than direct replicas.

Deli Protein Bagels is a refrigerated, presliced bagel line delivering 16 grams of protein per bagel in three flavors: Plain, Cinnamon, and Everything.

The deal marks a strategic move by Marico to accelerate its entry into higher‑growth, branded food and snacking categories beyond its traditional strengths in edible oils and personal care.
